VN Ren'Py Completed Record of Asturion War Redux [v1.063] [Harold]

[harold]

cool stuff overall. i just had a question about the protect your allies route, in this route, if you decide to go on it, does this mean the route has no sexual content other than the netorare content that could appear in it?

Also, i'm assuming that the protect allies route has the netorare content and the corruption route has the netori content right? Regardless, it seems like you have a really ambitious project, i wish you luck and im excited to see your demo

The good route will have pure love content, and it will possible to have a very happy ending! And that's right, netori is confined to the corruption route.
I appreciate it! Going to put in all the effort it takes to make it great!

Sounds interesting. RPGM is not my preferred engine, also I'm getting old to engage in gameplay in my adult games even though I like Fire Emblem/rpg games. It's why I loved this redux version more than the original which was a SRPG. But hey I'm definitely still looking forward to what's next.

Also hopium/suggestion: Play into the cheating angle a bit more. Getting a girl/slave is great and all but stealing her from a man and seeing how their relationship fall out and the end reaction from the man can push it to the next level. Not all girls need to be like that but some girls which have bf/husband, it would be neat. It's one aspect I think Asturion kind of not leaned into strong enough. Also transforming some guys into girls. It can be really hot proven by College Daze.

Totally understand, hopefully the difficulty options can help make the gameplay more palatable!

There will be plenty of cheating and stealing. I'll keep the MtF transformation in mind as a possibility, there's a character who would be perfect for it (was already planning on sissification). But he's not slated to appear much in the early game, so it's unlikely that such a scene would be in early updates.

Neat. Got a question on Asturion. After capturing Junia in chapter 9, she appears naked in the base camp in both original and corrupted form. Is this a (glorious) bug or is it actually possible to view the girls without clothing in base or just a one time thing Junia did? Cause I think it's the only time I saw this happened.

That's just a one off, sorry to disappoint!

I'm in Chapter 15 playing as Marek and I have this bug where there are health bars on the screen even after the last battle is over. The health bars are constantly shown on screen. Is there a way to fix this?

Did you try a hotfix under the download link?

 

[justsomeguy6000]

Yep. I replaced the game files with the hotfixes. I downloaded hotfix 1.062, it said to use hotfix 1.06 first, which I did, then did the 1.062 update. I went back to my save file and the health bars are still there. Am I missing something?

If you post a screenshot of exactly where you saved are I can make a rough patch

Edit
The current patch gets rid of the healthbars the moment the battle ends. If you have a save from right before the battle ended, it should get rid of it. The next time the healthbar removal activates is end of next battle

Okay so I replayed the last battle I was in against the grand general guy in red, after the battle the same health bars were there. So I went back to the battle before that which is the battle where the health bars first showed up permanently. Finished that battle, the health bars went away, then skipped my way back to where I was before and saved. Should be good to go now. Thanks!

Wished there was more to the subterfuge aspect, part of me wanted to have major kingdoms like the elves or the alliance still pretend to back Marek up after their corruption while interfering with his side of the war, make him think he's winning until it's too late and everyone around him is corrupted. Maybe have Marek and the subverted leaders be discussing war in the palace while Bosun is having sex with the subverted subordinates in the other room.

I'm playing the game and that's my main problem with it.
It's very erotic and hot, but I wish it were more "hidden", for example in part 2 the empire being so weak the new mc had to little by little control the girls using subterfuge, then using them as spy or to sow discord.

Spoiler: -

Instead it went a little too easily into being discovered and an all out war, though i'm only at chapter 6 so maybe it'll be different later.


But otherwise the game's idea is so good I'm already searching if someone bothered to write that kind of stories somewhere. It reminds me of the old village of succubus game.

I think it simply boils down to constraint in resources and time to expand on the subterfuge and spy element, as a lot of it simply happens in the background, you could see various chars grey out in duty roster saying they are out there working for your behalf. But yeah, this is a very interesting aspect of mind control rarely explored elsewhere. One of my favorite is Tabitha and Cassie secretly trading sabotaged goods to the opposition.

Don't understand why there is combat in this game. Makes the whole thing unplayable.

I agree completely, the corruption aspect is great but if would have been even better if most girls were "undercover", "behind enemy lines". Corrupting new members, spreading influence beneath the surface like a spiders web.
From a narrative standpoint it would showcase how corrupt the characters really became and make them more proactive in the story. Also it would introduce tension and suspense that could enhance the story. In ideal scenario game utilizing such storytelling way would have 2 protagonist with 2 POVs, with one always being unsure who really is an ally and whom to trust.

One side : completely oblivious, yet bad things keeps happening, at the start nothing much but then more and more.
Other side : each girls gets corrupted and goes undercover with their old persona (in a way they're still the same, just with very different priorities and more corrupt).
If a dev is bored lol, would be an amazing concept.

Totally 100% agree too, that kind of stuff's amazing! TS Nao did that really well, even with machine translation

Can't say the next project will be 100% your scenario, but there will be more subterfuge and less open war than in RoAW

TS Nao and Bell Voice have some great games in that vein, though they're all Japanese only and need machine translations

Partially what happened, the other part was that I figured that it would be hard to keep tricking an enemy in the middle of an all out war with the same methods over and over, hence Zarius suspecting any woman around Marek.

In the next game there will be more subterfuge before the threat's revealed.

has a lot of stuff, recently they've been using AI art, unfortunately, but most of their games use 3D models (Custom Maid, Custom Girl engine? Can't remember which)

Oh TS Nao is a gender bender game lol, ok.
And for Bell Voice, what would you recommend that has this "undercover" girl gimmick? I don't mind the type of art, AI or not, as long as it's competently done.
